Caruana hot, Topalov not

Today was not Maxime Vachier-Lagrave's day. The French number one is the dark horse in the running for the Sinquefield Cup, and he's now fallen behind after two rounds. Fabiano Caruana used precious little time in an opening he had prepared deeply for a game against Shakhriyar Mamedyarov earlier this year. Although Caruana had expected a Sicilian Najdorf, he nevertheless recalled his earlier work on the variation chosen by MVL up to move 17.Rf2. The Frenchman couldn't cope with his predicament.
